| When you shoot someone who is fleeing, it's not self-defense. It's an execution. | | 101| Teaching civility is an obligation of the family. | | 102| There are no black conservatives. Oh, there are neoconservatives with black skin, but they lack any claim to blackness other than the biological. They have forgotten their roots. | | 103| To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box. On the box is a label, not of my own choosing. | | 104| More than 20 years on, sustained competition, informed customers and the rapid growth of new technology provide the necessary environment for substantial deregulation. | | 105| I think of my novels as entertainments. | | 106| If you're fascinated by America, you'll be fascinated by family. | | 107| I think that black fiction authors have to work very hard to avoid being typed as seeking only a black audience. | | 108| I find it hard to think of myself as selling books. I don't even have a Web site. I want to sit and write, not sell. | | 109| So much emotion goes into writing fiction. | | 110| Even in 2012, if there's a black character in the movies or on television that's a professional, if we even hear about their backgrounds they're always 'up from the streets.' | | 111| In real life there are indeed black people who have been in the middle class for generations, but in entertainment it's as if they don't exist. | | 112 | | | | | | | | | | | |
